<p>I remember the great Rick Weaver the original voice of the Miami Dolphins calling play by play.</p>
<p>&quot;John Offerdahl looks like he just got his bell rung on that last play they are giving him smelling salts on the sideline.&quot;</p>

I say this because I remember the suicide of former Steeler great Center Mike Webster which was the 1st time I heard the term encephalopathy. Later came the suicide a couple of years back of former Eagles Safety Andre Waters who&#39;s autopsy showed had the BRAIN of an 80 year old man with advanced ALZHEIMER desease.</p>
<p>It was this finding that pushed the agenda of Merril Hoge (1st. ever to retire because of chronic concussions) who has been saying it for years but never taken seriously and now due to these findings has a Senate committee listening to this issue. I think some of the players will probably piggy back this lawsuit looking to squeeze another pay day from the NFL but to others this agenda is very real, so I wouldn&#39;t be so dismissive about it like others seem to be.</p>
<p> I for one would have warned Colts WR Austin Collie against playing but it is his choice after the 3 back to back concussions he suffered last year which required carting him off the field. It is his free will and the team should have something in writing as well protecting them from legal recourse from A.Collie down the road as well but the fact some continue playing doesn&#39;t mitigate the League&#39;s resposibility of it&#39;s handling of these cases threw the years, especially when NFL legends like Webster, Roger Staubach, Johnny Unitas, Troy Aikman, Steve Young and Al Toon are among those complaining about these symptoms. </p>ALoco commented on 'Former Dolphins key in new concussion suit vs. NFL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2015438d5a1cc970c2011-12-24T16:08:56Z2011-12-24T16:08:56ZALocoI SORRY TO SAY THAT THE GREAT TOM BREDY WILL SHOW HY HE THE BEST THERE IS,THE BEST THERE WAS,...<p>I SORRY TO SAY THAT THE GREAT TOM BREDY WILL SHOW HY HE THE BEST THERE IS,THE BEST THERE WAS, THE BEST THER EVER BE, BRADY WELL THROU FOR ANOTHER 500 YARDS IN A 42 TO 16 WIN, GAME OVER BE HALF-TIME.<br />

<p>1. Andrew Luck<br />
2. Matt Kalil<br />
3. Robert Griffin III<br />
4. Morris Claiborne<br />
5. Riley Reiff<br />
6. Justin Blackmon<br />
7. Trent Richardson<br />
8. Quinton Coples<br />
9. David DeCastro<br />
10. Zach Brown</p>
<p>The top ten is filled with underclassmen at this time so any one of those guys who decide to stay in college could upset the apple cart.<br />
However, the top ten is also reserved for dominant players. While Kalil and Reiff are dominant on the offensive line I don&#39;t know that the same could be said about Coples on the d-line. Likewis, Zach Brown, who is Coples teammate at North Carolina, is having a breakout year at outside linebacker but can he be dominant at his position in the NFL? If he were a sack guy like Von Miller he would be worthy of a top ten but he isn&#39;t. <br />
Therefore, I wouldn&#39;t be surprised to see Dre Kirkpatrick or Michael Floyd possibly sneek into the top ten. <br />
It is a deep draft if underclassmen declare but that could change quickly. When you look at the talent at running back, offensive line and on defense there is a ton of talent there. Miami needs to hope that the draft is as deep as it could be so they have a chance to get some guys that will help them on both sides of the ball. Based on the draft order and who will be there in the top ten (tentatively) they may not be able to trade up and get their guy again this year. So, they may in a better position to make an impact by trading down and accumulating picks and then trying to trade back into the first to get, maybe, a low-mid first and a late first that could make an immediate impact. One could only hope this year goes well for them.</p>bubbleRefuge commented on 'Former Dolphins key in new concussion suit vs. NFL'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201675f4abd56970b2011-12-24T15:37:17Z2011-12-24T15:37:17ZbubbleRefugeThis lawsuit is legitimate if the NFL conspired to withhold information about the dangers of concussions.

Medicine is extremely advanced from where it was 15 to 20 years ago.<br />
A person who went into the hospital 20 years ago for blocked arteries would receive stents and be in the hospital for about a week before they went home. It was a big deal.<br />
Now, they could be rushed to the hospital one night, have the stents put in next morning and be out the same day or next day.<br />
